Hello Duffygirl and welcome to the forum.
I think our children are more sympathetic when they see us suffering.
My husband tries to understand but he has heard my woes so many times I think he is a bit hardened to it all. My adult son and daughter are concerned about me but as they don't live at home they are often spared the unrelenting misery of it all!
You can unburden yourself on the forum at any time. The lovely ladies here will always offer comfort and advice. You are not alone now you have MM in your life!
Wishing you well and keep posting.
K.
